My main stone is a F Ex/Ex/Ex 1ct ROUND brilliant - when it was in it's temporary solitaire setting, it was AMAZINGLY bright so when it got into the halo, the stone just didn't have the same pizzazz anymore. Granted it's still a beautiful halo ring as a whole, but I wanted to see more of my stone.
My next setting will use F or G side baguettes. I'll see what my best friend says, she's my jeweler. Here's the picture of my next setting. I love this overall structure! Plus, like you, now my ring will sit (more) flush.

missD, I knew your setting before I even need to see the pic. Yeah is nice, since your main stone is under the colorless range and is a RB, the side stone baguette step-cut definitely sparkle less than a RB and you are going for lower color on your side stones this time, so your overall look will be pretty much emphasize on the centre one. So is nice.

Thank you darling windycityaj
missD, Had my halo for a year. Didn't wear it for its last 3month after one of the melee diamond falls off and although we got it fixed, repolish + replate and got back it's shine, but I lose interest in the lack of light passing through the diamond resulting in a pretty dull diamond.
I have a relatively small finger approximately US Size3+ - 4, my Cushion center was pretty big size even though it was only 1ct (its measurement looks more towards the 1.3-1.5ct Cushion zone) and moreover I set it East-west (6.94mm), that explains even more finger coverage.
My 0.3ct each RB diamond are of relatively best proportion of a 0.3ct measurements around 4.3mm diameter each. (Some bad 0.3ct only measure 3+mm due to a thick depth).
I intialy wanna do a 5-stone but the jeweler and my FI shot a look to me like 'How is it going to fit on your finger? Your finger is not wide enough for 5-stone.' LOL. No choice did a 3-stone one and love love love it much more. More than 5-stone as I guess 3-stone still look like an E-ring, delicate and simple. But 5-stone look more like a WB? I don't know - JMHO... Hehe..
Good luck in your reset. I feel bad my FI spent so much on the last halo setting and still have to pay for the new setting side diamonds here (our retail chain diamond in my country are hell LOTS more expensive, a 0.3ct here can buy a 0.8ct on many of the online diamond stores). MOREOVER, it was just one year wearing of the old setting, and I haven even marry myself to him but he has to splurge on another thing.. LOL. You know Chinese wedding the groom already has to spend super duber much etc due to traditions. And now add in more expenses to him.
LOL. But most importantly I like and LOVE my new one. Never did I once regret throwing the halo alway. My FI is right, simplicity is the best.. Really FOCUS on the main diamond...
